Sure, he looked AWFUL on that show. I'm surprised Matthews let the stuttering and screaming go on as long as he did. I just think that Matthews got it thrown back at him and didn't know how to handle it, so he shot back something about the Cole that was blatantly incorrect. He railed against Kevin James for not sharing the same interpretation of a person's actions (common to many on the left), but he then made a historically FALSE statment.

The whole thing about Neville Chamberlain was all about interpretation -- all about subjectives. Chamberlain thought that if you talked to Hitler and gave in a little bit, he woudn't want more, which is what he tried to do when he gave Hitler portions of Czechoslavia and Ireland. Some on the left think the same way in regards to Hamass and Iran. Some call his actions appeasement, some call it something else. But, that is all up to interpretation and Matthews is telling James that he knows nothing about history because he interpreted Chamberlain's actions differently than Matthews did.

But, how can Matthews berate James and tell him that he has no knowledge of history when Matthews himself doesn't even know that the Cole, an attack on AMERICAN SOLDIERS that happened MUCH more recently than Chamberlain's shenangians, was committed under Clinton??

James merely thought differently than Matthews. Why can't Matthews be more tolerant of different interpretations, like he screams that conservatives should be? The total hypocrisy here comes when Matthews berates James for not knowing history (though he clearly did), then Matthews doesn't know history, either.
